jQWidgets jqxGrid localizestrings() Method

Last Updated : 29 Mar, 2023

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxGrid is used to illustrate a jQuery widget that shows data in tabular form. Moreover, it renders full support for connecting with data, as well as paging, grouping, sorting, filtering, and editing.

The localizestrings() method is used to localize the strings of the displayed jqxGrid. It is helpful in changing the values of every string of the grid. Moreover, it can also change the formatting settings of the cells. It does not return anything.

Syntax:

$('Selector').jqxGrid('localizestrings', localizationobj);

Parameter Values:

localizationobj: It is the stated localization object which is of type Object.
